摘要
An advanced microwave radiometer for profiling atmospheric parameters is described in this paper. The method accomplishing profiling is described. The innovations of the radiometer system, including utilization of a stable frequency synthesizer and the calibration system are described. The performance of several mathematical retrieval methods and representative profiles are presented, as well as several comparisons with radiosondes.
